Wake and west

There was more pop to be had last week, with a return to Pressed by West Coaster Jay Arner. But first, here's locals Herons Wake. They've had a bunch of shows lately but this is the first chanc I've had to catch them live. I liked them quite a bit; live their sound is quite reminiscent of one of my personal faves, Roy Montgomery (Pin Group, Dissolve, etc.). Here's vocalist Silvana, mainman Jacob and a much-obscured Dylan on bass.

Keyboard action with Jessica. Jay and Jessica have a lo-fi psych-synth band called Energy Slime that's well worth checking out.
